Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a weak hadith is graded as weak by some scholars and as good by others, and this hadith is in the virtues of actions and some of the sunnah (recommended practices), does the grading of it as good by some support acting upon it?
Answer:
This is the case even if some scholars did not grade it as good; if they said it is weak, it is not discarded. It is acted upon in the virtues of actions, and in encouraging and warning. However, if some scholars graded it as good, that is stronger, and it may rise to the level of hasan li ghayrihi (good due to supporting evidence).
